How much does visitor insurance cost for my trip?

Start with a current quote using your traveler's details and coverage dates. This guide explains what to compare; it does not provide a price estimate or promise that an earlier quote will remain available.

Whose age should I enter if I am helping a family member?

Enter the age or date of birth of the person who will be traveling, using the form's instructions. Enter your own information only if you are that traveler.

Does the same policy maximum mean two plans are equivalent?

Do not use a matching maximum as a substitute for reading the terms. Compare the applicable benefit descriptions, exclusions, and other limits in each plan's documents.

Which deductible should I choose?

This guide does not select a deductible for you. Compare the available quote settings, then check the plan documents or ask a licensed insurance agent how the deductible applies before choosing.

What should I do if my travel dates change?

Enter the revised dates, request an updated quote, and review the resulting plan settings and amount. Do not use the old quote as confirmation of the new trip's price or terms.

Visitor Insurance Cost: What to Check in a Quote

Visitor insurance has no single price for every trip. Age, trip length, destination, and selected coverage are among the inputs insurers identify when explaining prices. To compare quotes, start with the same traveler and coverage dates, then check the deductible and policy maximum selected for each result. This guide gives you a checklist for keeping those inputs consistent. It does not estimate a premium or select coverage for you. If you are helping someone else, use the traveler's information in the quote form. Keep the plan's policy documents alongside the price so you can check what the quote describes before deciding. [1][3][4]

Start with the traveler and coverage dates

On SimplyGlobal, begin with the traveler's age or date of birth and the dates for which you want to compare coverage. If you are helping a relative, enter that person's information. Use the same traveler details and dates throughout your comparison. Check that each plan's stated coverage area includes the trip you are planning. [4]

Check the deductible and policy maximum

Insurer explanations identify the deductible and maximum coverage limit as pricing inputs. Compare the values selected for each quote. If the same choices are not available, note that difference instead of treating the quotes as equivalent. This guide does not recommend a deductible or maximum; check how the proposed settings apply in the plan's policy documents. [1][2][3]

Read the terms alongside the price

A policy maximum is one field to compare. Read the benefit descriptions, exclusions, and other limits before drawing conclusions from it. IMG's own summary directs readers to the governing insurance documents for actual benefits. For a plan you are considering, confirm which documents apply; ask the insurer or a licensed insurance agent about terms you do not understand. [2]

Use this same-input checklist

Use this checklist to record your inputs and the options shown in SimplyGlobal's comparison results. [4]

Traveler details: Keep the same travelers and their age or date of birth in each quote.
Coverage dates: Check the start and end dates. Compare amounts for the same coverage period.
Plan settings: Record the selected deductible, coverage maximum, and plan type shown for each result. Note any settings that differ.
Price details: Read the displayed amount and any itemized charges or selected options. Do not assume a headline amount explains every item.
Policy documents: Check the applicable benefit descriptions, limits, exclusions, and eligibility terms. Record questions you still need answered.
Final check: If you change the traveler details, dates, or plan settings, request an updated quote and check the inputs again before proceeding.
